It's that time of year to put the finishing touches on all the hard work of recent months.

No, we're not talking about your Christmas gifts, it's all about transfers as clubs look to go shopping in the January transfer window.

And what about Celtic? Fabricio Bruno is the hot name and the Cruzeiro defender is doing all he can to get out of Brazilian football in a bid to win a move away.

Neil Lennon has made no secret of his desire to add a striker and he's been strongly linked with three. Andraz Sporar, Sebastian Andersson and Jordan Rhodes are understood to be in the frame.

Meanwhile, Rangers boss Steven Gerrard and sporting director Ross Wilson are ready for a fresh start in 2020 with a host players up for grabs.

Jamie Murphy, Greg Docherty and Matt Polster will be allowed to seek opportunities elsewhere. Andy King's loan from Leicester could be coming to and end and there's a decision to be made on Glenn Middleton.

Plus Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen will be searching high and low for new recruits.

Of course, our club also has certain guard rails and limits. And I have named the clubs that compete, and there may be salary regions that we don’t want to go into. (The fee) is still manageable, but the package does not only consist of the transfer fee.

It’s the same cliche again: we can buy everything and we can get everything and we can do everything. Unfortunately, we can’t, otherwise Haaland would already be with us.”

Juve in particular are known to have a good relationship with Raiola, who represented vice-president Pavel Nedved during his playing days.

Matthijs de Light and Blaise Matuidi are current Raiola clients and the super agent also works with former Juventus stars Moise Kean and Paul Pogba.

Zlatan never wanted to be sold to Paris Saint-Germain by Milan and there’s been plenty of talk of a reunion this January.

Ibra is available on a free transfer after leaving LA Galaxy and has always described Italy as his second home after Sweden.

According to today’s Gazzetta dello Sport, Ibrahimovic has still not responded to the offer Milan have put on the table.

The Rossoneri have therefore told him he must make a decision one way or the other before Christmas.

Ibrahimovic, now 38, has scored 474 club goals across his career and won 12 league titles.

The Spanish giants are hoping to do a cut-price deal in January but there are a number of obstacles in their way.

The size of the current squad means some players will have to be sold to make way for Cavani, and Atleti are on the verge of breaking the salary cap imposed by La Liga.

In addition they’ve not yet reached a deal with PSG on a transfer fee, though the Ligue 1 club will likely to be happy to get his wages off the books six months early and won’t ask for a big figure.

Lots of interest in Chelsea's Giroud

France's Olivier Giroud celebrates after scoring their fifth goal

At least three clubs are vying for the signature of Chelsea’s Olivier Giroud, according to reports in France.

The World Cup winner has struggled to break into the team this season, with Tammy Abraham the first choice in attack at Stamford Bridge.

France manager Didier Deschamps has made it clear that Giroud will have to be playing to make it into his Euro 2020 squad to his expected to move on in January.

According to Le Progrès, Lyon have made their interest in a deal next month clear.

However, they are likely to face competition from Ligue 1 rivals Marseille and Inter could also make a move for Giroud.

Antonio Conte is looking for a target man to bolster his squad in January, and the Chelsea man could come into the frame if a swap deal involving Matteo Politano and Napoli’s Fernando Llorente doesn’t come to fruition.

The Toffees faithful will be loving this.

New boss Carlo Ancelotti has given his clearest indication yet that he could move for Zlatan ibrahimovic to add a box-office option in attack.

The pair worked together and the Swedish football legend is a free agent after leaving LA Galaxy.

And the Italian admits a reunion could happen

He is a good friend of mine and fortunately I have trained a lot of fantastic players.

I think Ibrahimovic has finished his period in the United States and I don’t know what his thinking is. Maybe I have to call him and to see if he wants to come to Liverpool.
